We drafted Singletary, then spent a 3rd on Moss. Then a 2nd on Cook. Then TRADED for Himes. Beane and co. do not think our running backs are good. They are correct. We don't "establish" the run, because they suck. We don't keep feeding them, because it stops working, because they SUCK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying Motor is CMC, but Singletary has a higher career average YPC with 4.7 vs 4.6. Pretty large sample size, too. The RB isn’t the problem. It is the OL. Period.

Yet there is a reason they picked up Cook and Hines, they want more explosiveness. It will not appear often enough until we can control the LOS. THAT is where the game is won, or lost….like today.

SirAndrew Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We need to stop using Josh as a substitute for a decent running back, I’ll tell you that much. Coaching leans on Allen’s running ability as a crutch when the offense struggles. I’m not convinced that Allen being used extensively as runner doesn’t throw off the passing game. Improvisational scrambles are a different beast that I don’t believe hurts his game. I’d love to see us win more regular season games with Allen in the pocket. He has an elite arm, I realize that’s taking away part of his game, but also can’t name a Super Bowl winning team who relied heavily on their QB as a runner. It’s not going to end well if they don’t use him more sparingly in the run game. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PayDaBill$ Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Offensive scheme is lacking in quick hitters & the TE is under utilized.

That said I just saw Kupp run past the TB defense and he ran a slower 40 than Singletary. Singletary's speed is just fine for establishing a running game if we cared to do that.
